Next Generation Innovation – What does it Mean to Me as a Practitioner?

In this IM Channel One webinar David Burns talks about some of the challenges connected with how to better leverage Open Innovation in your organization.

Theoretical framework

Induct has been inspired by research from leading authorities and well as leading companies’ innovation practice through several years. Induct’s theoretical framework is very much inspired by professor Henry Chesbrough who is heading the Induct Academic Advisory Board, where his ideas are put into practice. Induct has studied innovation practice in more than 250 organizations. The results and key findings have been transformed into a substantial knowledge base made available thought the Induct Academy™ and Induct Innovation Community™. In addition to sharing knowledge with clients and partners, Induct also participate in several research projects, and as experts in the European Standardization Committee for innovation management system.
